Figure 10.11 The robot has reached the goal position and stops by engaging the dynamic brake function.
Once the robot has stopped, the mechanical brakes are enabled. These brakes are used to keep
the robot in place once it has stopped. You can compare the mechanical brakes with the parking
brake or hand brake in a car.
The mechanical brakes are only used to stop the robot when it is in motion in
emergency situations triggered by the safety system. They will wear down if they are
used repeatedly to stop the robot—see "Safety stop" on page130.
The mechanical brakes are automatically released again when the robot receives a new order
requiring it to move.
